Is Humectant Pescatarian?
CautionSometimes. Humectants are used to keep things moist and can come from animal or plant sources. If the label does not provide a source, we recommend calling the manufacturer.
Humectant and the Pescatarian Diet
Humectants are ingredients added to food products to help retain moisture and prevent them from drying out. These substances work by attracting and holding water molecules, ensuring that the texture and consistency of food remain desirable. Commonly found in processed foods, baked goods, and cosmetics, humectants can be derived from various sources, including both plant and animal origins. Because of this, those following specific dietary restrictions, such as a pescatarian diet, should verify the source of humectants if not clearly labeled.
